ANNEXATION IMMINENT.
DELEGATE DUBOIS, IN AN INTERVIEW,
CONFIRMS PRESIDENT cLEvE-
LANDS CHANGE OF BASE.

Hon. Fred T. Dubois is now in
Blackfoot and will, after brief So
journ with friends here and in Bing-
ham county, make leisurely tour
OF the Territory and advise himself
of the wants and wishes of his con-
stituency before returning to Wash
ington City, December 1st. In a
short interview with News repre-
sentative the other day the question
OF annexation naturally came up
and the News man sought informa-
ton on the following points:
While in Washington you called
on Mr.. Cleveland, of course; is it
true that he now favors annexa-
ton?
Yes" replied Mr.. Dubois; "Mr.
Stewart seems to have pressed and
converted him, but l do not know
that he is unalterably fixed in his
mind"
Then Mr. Stewart is taking time
by the forelocks and pushing his
work?
eyes, he is very aggressive and
has gathered a strong force around
him, notably among these is the
California delegation with the ex-
ception of one member"
Well, how do you feel about the
matter ?
81 was very pronounced in my
views during the last campaign,
and I have had no reasons to change
them. | am fully apprised of the
of the fight before me
and | must be strengthened by
united people to win. You see, in
Washington, the opinion prevails
that the people of Idaho are divid-
ed, this has been distilled into them
for the past four years and now the
only way to bring about revolu-
ton of sentiment there and defeat
The scheme will be by a free and a
practically unanimous expression
If the people against it,"
What will be Mr.. Stewards first
move in the premises?
20, he will attempt to attach the
lorthern counties to Washington
irst, in this he will be strongly sec
'nded by Mr. Voorhees,, and if sue
'essful, then he will introduce his
,ill for the annexation of the re-
of the Territory to the
State of Nevada"
Mr.. Dubois seems to comprehend :
ully the situation as it exists, and {
Re will be ready for the fray when
he bugle blast is sounded, but in
he meantime the people of the
'erritory and particularly of the i
counties should give an
xpressian of sentiment in resolu-
ions and petitions that will be
overwhelming if their feelings and {
fishes are to be respected and re-
arded.

Mr.. AtkinsOn's Plan.
HE EXPLAINS FURTHER HIS PROPOSAL 10 BUY II
BRITISH MARITIME PROVINCES

HE EXPLAINS FURTHER HIS PROPOSAL 70 BUY THE
BRITISH MARITIME PROVINCES
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, OF Boston, has sent an
other letter to the New York Chamber OF Com
merce. He asks what plain, straightforward bust
ness men would do IL the subject OF amalgamat-
ing the whole Dominion Of Canada with the United
States were brought before them for settlement,
and suggests that the answer would be that the
maritime provinces might properly be annexed by
purchase.
His points are that the different sections OF the
Dominion OF Canada are not so united by nature
as to make the maritime provinces a necessary
part; that the policy OF the Government that
would be beneficial to other portions would only
result In these provinces getting share OF heavy
and burdensome debt; that they are physically al
lied by nature to New England, and without Gus
tom distractions the trade per capita between
among the people OF the United states. He argues
further that the outside purchase price Of
$50, 200, 900 would be recovered by taxation by
the United states in ten years, and that Canada
would be better on with this amount to put In cash
for the completion OF its railway system or for a
sinking fund for the ultimate payment OF part Of
its debt, than retaining this distant isolated and
spect to the relation OF these provinces to Great
Britain, he finds the benefit in his plan OF
the entire removal OF any cause OF difncuty or
danger OF war growing out Of the fisheries
question, and benefit to Great Britain by the in
creased traffic with the people there whose pur-
chasing power Is now very small. He thinks the
maritime provinces would increase in prosperity
activity, population, and wealth, and become
equal, in trac with England, to the other parts OF
the United States, the people OF which are. he
says, well known to be the largest customers of
English manufacturers.

How Bigus Confessed.
HIS LAST WORDS BEFORE HE WAS KILLED By THE

The interest In the Bigus lynching case at Frede-
rick, Nd, has gradually begun to die out. 1t was
revived somewhat yesterday by rumor that an
Official statement by one OF the members OF the
gang Of lynchers, OF the confession which Bigus
made just before he was killed, would be made. A
baltimore American representative has secured
this statement. 1t Is Us follows: "When they
took Bfgus out OF the jail he loudly protested his
Innocence. TWO men had hold OF his arms, and
one led him by the rope. He was asked, going
along the road to his death, 'Bigus, didn't you
assault Mrs. Yeakle?' He said: Men, loose
the rope around my neck, and I'll confess.
They did SO, and he said he was innocent, and
told an entirely different story from the one he
told at the hearing at the Courthouse When
told he did not say that at the courthouse he
said he knew he didn't, for he was afraid When
they got him to the tree he was given time to pray
but had not much TO say, as he did not seem to be
q praying man. Not prayer escaped his lips.
'Bigus, pray, for you must die, innocent or not.
You are the man, so prepare for your Maker and
pray, some one said. As he had been given ample
time TO pray, and would not, they pulled him up
TO scare him. and then let him down. Some one
said For Gods sake confess
